The pining at the beginning of this book was stellar!! I haven't read too many rivals-to-lovers stories, but it is officially one of my favorite tropes solely because of this book.
The family dynamics explored between both characters were so well done. Feeling like you have to show up for your family and the demands of your job can be extremely tiresome. Noah and Sage were there to hold on to one another (sometimes literally) when they were feeling burnt out. Although they worked in the same workplace, neither forced them to make a certain decision. They both gave each other space to feel their emotions and decide what worked best for their personal growth. It was refreshing because I usually read romances where one of the main characters gives up part of their life to be with their partner.
